Teradek’s latest live streaming encoder, the $699 VidiU has
just gone on sale, although there will be limited supplies for the first month.
It is designed to enable you to stream SD or HD video (up to
1080p30 or 1080i/60) on the web without a PC or laptop, either direct from a
camera (via a wireless link) or from a video switcher, making it easier to do
live web productions (or to put live broadcasts on the web).
It connects via
HDMI and encodes video in real time using high profile H.264 compression
and AAC audio from 250Kbps up to 5Mbps. Embedded HDMI audio, headphone output,
and a mic/line input are supported.
VidiU has API level integration with the Ustream and new
Livestream platforms, to make streaming to your channel on these platforms as
simple as logging into your account. You can, of course, use any content
delivery network, as VidiU has a generic RTMP interface.
For wireless use, VidiU streams over dual band MIMO (Multiple
Input, Multiple Output) WiFi, Ethernet, or via a single 3G/4G USB modem. Its
rechargeable Li-Ion battery allows users to roam cable-free for up to 90 minutes.
VidiU can also stream a second video feed to an iPhone or
iPad, via a free iOS application, for monitoring your live broadcast. As VidiU
acts as its own dual band Access Point, you can connect your device directly to
it or to your local network.
It is compact enough to sit on a camera hot shoe, at 7.5cm
(3-inches) wide, by 10cm (4-inches) deep, by 2.5cm (1-inch) high, and weighs
142g/5 ounces.

Do you know how you would get audio to sync with video...our microphone goes to the sound board...so would we feed that to the camera and then the hdmi would take both to the vidiu?
